Swamp Rabbit 5K Run
|
Another race so soon.... yes, I was wondering the same thing. It is held on a Friday night after working all day ~ yikes. When we arrived in Travelers Rest, it was certainly threatening rain, although it ended up being a nice night. We found out at the event that the registration was for around 2,000 walkers and runners! I know we would not have gone if that information had been known ahead of time, but I was not surprised... what do expect when the entry fee is $5! With our affinity for rabbits  , we had to join in. The event was held on a new section of the trail that opened for the first time at the race. The Greenville Hospital System Swamp Rabbit Tram Trail is part of the rails to trails movement, and is named for the former Greenville and Northern Railway that used to run from downtown Greenville to River Falls in the Jones Gap area. The railway got its nickname from the various wetlands it passed through. The plan is to pave the railway from Greenville to Travelers Rest, and to eventually run trams on the path on a regular schedule.I have some photos to give you a scope of the event: 05/08/09 From the photos, you will see some taken at home. Today was our last day of school~all 180 days (our 1st year with attendance records). |
